Shares trading below ₹1 belong to smaller, less established companies and are typically very low-priced. Because of this, they can be highly volatile and often attract investors who want to start investing with a small amount.
While shares below ₹1 may seem attractive due to their low prices, this also increases the risk of scams or large losses. In India, there have been cases where people received unsolicited tips to invest in certain low-priced shares that later collapsed.
Before investing in these shares, it’s essential to research carefully. Check the company’s financial health, the reputation of its management, and its business potential. Avoid shares that lack clear information or are surrounded by hype.
Shares below ₹1 can be appealing because of their low price, but they come with considerable risks like volatility, low liquidity, and potential fraud. It’s vital to understand these risks thoroughly and consult a financial advisor before making an investment.
